  That should be "--with-mysql-include-dir=..."  What you have above is
completely unsupported.

  Hmm... the "configure" script tries to use mysql_config, which is the
preferred way to get the MySQL configuration parameters.  e.g. try:

$ PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/mysql/bin
$ ./configure

  If it can find "mysql_config", it SHOULD work.

  Well, yes.  But it's sometimes <mysql/mysql.h>, and other times
<mysql.h>, depending on the MySQL version, OS, packager, time of day,
moon phase, etc.

  The current configure script expects <mysql/mysql.h> OR, it prefers to
use mysql_config.
